Andrew Garfield in Spider-Man costume stops to play basketball with kids

Is there any greater thrill for a kid than shooting hoops with Spidey himself? Taking a break from shooting "The Amazing Spider-Man" sequel,
Andrew Garfield himself paused -- in costume -- to play a quick pickup game with some local kids who were nearby the filming location.

"This is the real deal," says the YouTube uploader, who happened upon the scene in NYC's Chinatown neighborhood. "Andrew Garfield, taking it to the hole, buries the jumper on the two kids."

Sure enough, Garfield's girlfriend, actress Emma Stone, can be spotted watching with her golden retriever on the sidelines.

"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" is currently filming in New York and is expected to hit theaters in May of 2014. It'll star Garfield, Stone, and Shailene Woodley in the highly anticipated role of Mary Jane Watson.
